Directions

Los Angeles County Museum of Art is on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, beside the La Brea Tar Pits.

Los Angeles County Museum of Art, commonly known as LACMA, is one of Los Angeles’s leading cultural institutions and a major art museum on the West Coast. Set on a 20-acre campus along Wilshire Boulevard, it is known for presenting art across wide periods, regions, and styles, from ancient works to modern and contemporary pieces. The museum has become an important symbol of Los Angeles’s global cultural identity, combining large-scale exhibitions with public programs such as screenings and concerts. Its outdoor spaces are also part of the experience, most famously the widely photographed “Urban Light” installation, which has become one of the city’s best-known art landmarks and a recognizable image of Los Angeles itself.

Before you enter

  • Check current opening hours before leaving; Los Angeles County Museum of Art is closed on Wednesdays.
  • Wear comfortable shoes; the campus is large and many visitors spend several hours exploring.
  • Start with outdoor works if you want photos in softer morning light.
  • Allow at least half a day to see highlights without rushing.

What to expect

  • Expect a broad mix of ancient, classic, modern, and contemporary art.
  • The museum campus includes indoor galleries and notable outdoor installations.

During your visit

  • Begin at the galleries that interest you most; seeing everything in one visit is difficult.
